A tragic stampede ahead of the Clausura final between Motagua and Progreso cost four fans their lives amid fears the capacity was exceeded
Four fans lost their lives in a stampede ahead of the Honduran Clausura final between Motagua and Progreso in Tegucigalpa on Sunday.
The Estadio Tiburcio Carias Andino was sold out for the encounter, but Motagua believe capacity may have been breached due to fans gaining entry with forged tickets.
Police took action in an attempt to control the crowd, but chaos ensued and several fans were trampled, with two supporters dying at the stadium and two more passing away after being transported to a local hospital.
